Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu has cautioned against the government's plans to fast-track new legislation that would regulate the removal of justices from Ghana's superior courts, including the Chief Justice.
Speaking on TV3's The Key Points May 31,2025, Kpebu emphasised the need for extensive stakeholder engagement and thorough consultation before such crucial rules are passed. "I don't know how we can pass that law in less than three months.
Let's take time on it, it will require a lot of input", he stated.
His comments come amid ongoing proceedings involving the suspended Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo, who is facing potential removal from office following allegations of misconduct.
